Atomic spectrometry update. Clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

Abstract

Amid the traditional development and applications work reported during the period covered by this review, the most obvious identifiable trend is that of downsizing. This is seen with techniques requiring smaller sample sizes or more effective analyte pre-concentration, and with new instrumentation. Procedures for extraction included the use of nanoparticles in various ways and the single-drop methodology with one example exploiting 1-dodecanol, a material that shifts between liquid and

Atomic Spectrometry Update: review of advances in the analysis of clinical and biological materials, foods and beverages

“…Previous Updates 84,85 have referred to the work of Michalke and colleagues in which concentrations of Se in paired serum and CSF specimens were compared to investigate whether there may be positive uptake into neural tissue. Following from the earlier studies, further work looking at Se 86 and Mn 87 in serum and CSF has been reported.…”
